If the FIG is so desperate to add new events just propose tumbling...

@Gianlu33 I don’t know if we should trust the reporting on Beach Handball just yet. I’m sure it’s true, but I haven’t seen any of the main outlets, who are much more in the loop on this stuff, confirm that yet. Plus, the IOC EB themselves hasn’t made any final decisions.

Shooting (1): Mixed trap

I do believe this is one of our biggest medal chances next year in Tokyo would be super cool if they reintroduce it again in Paris instead of mixed skeet

Canoe extreme is destined to be a massive fail. I can't even.

[NearPup 3,510]

I would be more okay with canoe extreme is it involved canoes or was extreme.

 

(Note: in North American English the word canoe can't be used to refer to a kayak)

So clearly, this is one giant mess. The IOC claimed that 20 IFs had proposed new events, and the math on the latest confirmations doesn’t work out. That leads me to believe that some IFs have rescinded their requests. This could have something to do with what the ICF has been faced with. I think many IFs have already been told that they are going to lose quotas no matter what they do. Also, the IOC initially seemed very open to new events, and now seems to be punishing IFs for trying to include them. Also, some of the proposals themselves have changed considerably since they were announced earlier this year, which gives further credence to what I said above.

 

It doesn’t help that this whole process happens behind close doors, without the consultation of athletes, fans, shareholders, and even many IOC members. It’s also important to note that proposals, reasoning for inclusion/rejection, etc. aren’t required to be public information. This process had led to so much confusion in the last few months. 
 

The IOC is conducting themselves extremely poorly as of late.

According to ITG's blog post we don't know what boxing, climbing, fencing, golf, skateboarding, surfing or weightlifting are up to. The math still doesn't work out but it gets a lot closer. Actually we know for a fact that climbing did request and will obtain two additional events.

 

But yes, the lack of transparency is a huge problem. You have ridiculous situations where athletes and national federations don't even know what events are being proposed in their own sports (see: monobob for Beijing 2022).

Wait, I just realized I'm confused: wasn't the 50k race walk going to get killed after Tokyo?
